O come on this bright Easter-day

1 O come on this bright East­er Day
Before the sun has ris­en,
And see the place where Je­sus lay,
Who now has burst His pris’n!

Refrain:
He is ris­en! He is ris­en!
Jesus takes from death its sting;
He is ris­en! He is ris­en!
Vict’ry oe’r the grave we sing.

2 The Form that lay so cold and still
In ho­ly Jo­seph’s grave,
Now lives again by His own will,
And shows His pow­er to save. [Refrain]

3 The Mar­ys came ere morn­ing light
On that first East­er Day,
But ear­li­er still the an­gel bright
Had rolled the stone away. [Refrain]

4 And now their ris­en Lord they meet,
And hear His word "All hail";
They kneel and hold Him by the feet,
Then haste to tell the tale. [Refrain]
